For 6 straight years, highly skilled masons from around the state come together to prove who is the top mason in Ohio at the state’s SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500 regional competition. Arguably the most competitive of the 16 local regional competition to be held in 2011, the Ohio contest’s 10 competitors featured the past two National Toughest Tender Champions in Raymond Burton (2010) and Aaron Cooke (2009) as well as 2008 second place finisher Jeff Burton and DIY Dominator’s Masonry Challenge Winner Justin Jakubisin. Once the action began, it was all business and when the dust cleared, Justin used his home field advantage and personal cheering section to take home the crown laying 696 brick and narrowly beating out second place Jeff Burton from the Cincinnati.
Justin will be heading to Las Vegas to compete at the World Championship SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500, representing the state of Ohio and ready to prove he has the Skill, Speed and Stamina to be the World’s Best Bricklayer!
A special thanks to Eastside Masonry, Mutual Materials, Lafarge, Lehigh Cement and all the sponsors who come together to make this event happen, we couldn’t do it without you!
